Blue Sense Lab

Blue Sense Lab is an interactive ocean conservation platform that merges an Augmented Reality mobile application with a tactile Underwater Check Card to transform recreational diving and eco-tourism into data-driven marine restoration.

The system gamifies environmental action for divers and coastal resort guests. Divers use the waterproof Underwater Check Card to log marine debris, benthic indicators, and key species using raised physical grid markers. Upon surfacing, the AR app verifies the data, quantifies environmental impact, and converts efforts into hotel-specific eco-achievement points, discounts, or recycled rewards. The cloud platform aggregates crowdsourced data and applies AI algorithms to map marine trash distribution and predict future debris accumulation hotspots.
